Infiltration is on the rise along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir and the Army is considering fencing portions of the border to keep a check on the infiltration routes, Deputy Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen JBS Yadava said. He said despite international pressure on terrorists, Pakistan wants to increase the terrorist violence in J and K that is why more and more terrorists are being infiltrated into the state. "It is difficult to me to say exact number of terrorists being staged by Pakistan along LoC for pushing them into Jammu and Kashmir. But there are indications of increase in infiltrations," he said.

Defence experts and Army officials are studying the infiltration increase, he said adding they would soon analyse it. But at the same time, we would be fencing some portions of borderline along LoC, which are being used by terrorists as infiltration routes, he said adding infiltration is down along International Border in Jammu after it was fenced. He said terrorists are adopting new modus operandi, including use of night vision goggles, GPS system and anti-mine booters to infiltrate along the borders.
